Domain name search: the quest for the Holy Grail

Conducting a domain name search is a lot like trying to find the Holy grail. It can take days or even months to find the right domain name for a website. When you think about it, this makes a lot of sense. There are millions of web sites that are currently running over the airwaves right now. Every day at least 5000 more are added per hour. Coming up with an original domain name for your own site can make you want to change your mind about having one at all.

How often have you tried to find a user name for a new email address or chat room, only to have that error message constantly tell you that it is already being used. Sure the sites usually offer samples, but those samples often take far more effort to type than you want to put into it. Sometimes, choosing your user ID can take as much time as you planned to spend on the computer during that session. For all of that, you could have had a V-8.
